Floppy Ears!

[snickers mom]

i remember when snickers ears wouldnt stand i got all worked up about it at first and once i was fine with it up they went lol
but all we did was massage the ears daily and have them trimmed... it sounds like you are already trimming them but maybe try a daily massage
it wont hurt and might be therapudic and bonding for both you and ur lil one i know i got to like doing it and still do!
good luck and let us know

I am new at any discussions on Yorkietalk, but finally have something to ask... LOL I just brought home a 4mo old yorkie/westie mix. He has one ear up & one ear down. I think it is adorable, but I've never had a yorkie pup before (I rescued all of mine as adults), and am not sure at what age their ears stand up. I am reading the past thread & it sounds like massage, trimming & more protein in their diet helps. Any other things I could do, or should I wait a while to see if they will stand up on their own??

Yes... Wilson is teething. I have never heard of that interfering with it, but that may be why. I taped them a few days ago, & just took the tape off, but one fell down already. It is actually kind of cute! He is not a fullbred yorkie anyway, so I guess I won't worry about it. If he ends up with ears like Rexy, it wouldn't be bad. Rexy is absolutely adorable!!!
